5 Years Ago Today:
Phillips Shoots Longobardo, Baker
Today marks the 5th anniversary of the day Ralph “Bucky” Phillips shot two New York State troopers who were staking out his girlfriend’s house in Chautauqua County.
On the night of August 31, 2006, then-State Police Superintendent Wayne Bennett talked about the injuries Phillips inflicted on troopers Donald Baker Jr. and Joseph Longobardo, and said there was no doubt in his mind they were ambushed.
Longobardo died September 3, 2006, at ECMC in Buffalo. He was 32 years old and left behind a wife and 13-month-old son.
Phillips surrendered to police in Warren County 5 days later. He is at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York.
